Your beloved sons and daughters,
who have been saved by the death and resurrection of Jesus.

The Commemoration of All the Faithful Departed
Page 3
Dear Parishioners,
nd
Today is All Souls’ Day. Each year on November 2 ,
we remember in prayer all those who have gone before us
marked with the sign of faith. These are the faithful departed,
our loved ones whom we will see again in the Kingdom of
Heaven.
The Book of the Faithful Departed is in the vestibule.
You may stop there and add the names of those among your
family or friends who have died, as a way of remembering them
and asking the church to pray for them.
At the All Soul’s Day Masses this weekend special
mention will be made, during the general intercessions, of all
those who were buried from St. Edward Parish during the past
year.
Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord, and let
perpetual light shine upon them.
***
Thanks to all who have been sending in their Step
Club tickets for the coming year. The first drawing will be on
Hospitality Sunday, November 16th. This is a big support to
our budget. If you didn’t receive a letter in the mail, there are
some tickets available at the church entrance. Thanks for your
support.
***
Donations to the New Organ Appeal keep coming in.
The parishioners and friends of St. Edward’s are so very
generous. We have already collected over $46,000.00 toward
the purchase price of $72,000.00. It is very encouraging to see
so many people becoming part of this important project. We
ordered the new Allen Organ over two months ago. It is being
fashioned in Allentown, PA. When we get closer to having a
firm delivery date, we will let you know and we will be able to
settle on a date for the dedication and blessing of the new
organ. The dedication booklet will include the names of donors
and the names of those for whom contributions were made “in
honor of” or “in memory of.” Again, thanks for the generosity
of so many people.
***
Last Sunday Cardinal George and the bishops of the
archdiocese gathered at Holy Name Cathedral with several
hundred people from around the archdiocese who were
recipients of the Christifideles Award. This honor is bestowed
upon Catholic laypersons who have demonstrated by
participation in parish life the personal and ministerial renewal
called for by the Papal Exhortation/published proclamation
Christifidelis Laici, calling the laity to a vocation of
responsibility for the Church’s life springing from the gift and
mission of their baptism. The Nyberg family – Stuart, Branka,
Eric, Esther, Kristina and Martin – were recipients from St.
Edward Parish. They are examples of faithful living and
generously contributing their talents to the life of the Church in
the parish. We congratulate them and pray that God will give
them the grace to continue growing in their spiritual life and
dedication to the church.
***
Some events coming up:
Nov. 16th is Connection Sunday. There are a number
of things you can do that weekend after Mass. You can register
to be a member of St. Edward Parish; sign up for electronic
giving; get on the alumni mailing list; sign up to receive the
monthly parish email newsletter, St. Edward Connections; get
information about getting involved in some of the many
ministries of the parish; get Step Club tickets for the coming
year of monthly drawings. And, of course, it’s Hospitality
Sunday so you can visit with fellow parishioners over coffee
and…..
On Saturday, November 23rd, we will have our annual
Anointing of the Sick at the 5:30 pm Mass. All those who wish
to receive the anointing of the sick are welcome to come. That
is also the day of the Scout’s Pasta Dinner over in the gym.
You can support the school by ordering Fannie May
candy (need any for the holidays). The order forms are in the
church vestibule.
***
Thank you, Cardinal George! For 17 years Francis
George has shepherded us as our bishop. We are grateful for
his leadership and his dedication to the Church of Chicago.
This week let us offer our prayers for the Cardinal as he
prepares to retire. He has some health challenges ahead of him
also and I am sure he would appreciate our thoughts and
prayers.
As you know Pope Francis has appointed Archbishop
Blase Cupich to succeed Cardinal George as Archbishop of
Chicago. He will officially become our new archbishop when
he is installed at Holy Name Cathedral on Tuesday, November
18th. We will keep him in our prayers as well.
***
This Tuesday is Election Day in Illinois. The bishops
remind us in their document “Forming Consciences for Faithful
Citizenship” that it is the moral obligation of each Catholic to
participate in the political life of the country. By our baptism,
Catholics are committed to following Jesus Christ and to be
"salt for the earth, light for the nations."
In addition to candidates for the various offices, there
are a several ballot measures that relate to Catholic Social
Teaching.
The Illinois Birth Control in Prescription Drug
Coverage Question
The Illinois Minimum Wage Increase Question
The Illinois Millionaire Tax Increase for Education
Question
The Cook County Non-Binding Referendum on the
Illinois Safety Act
The Office of Peace and Justice of the Archdiocese of
Chicago provides information about Catholic Social Teachings
that can guide Illinois voters on these issues.
You can go online to
www.chicagopeaceandjustice.org and look for the Faithful
Citizenship reflections.
God bless you,
Fr. Mike

The Commemoration of
All the Faithful Departed
(All Souls’ Day)
Today the Church remembers
all who have walked the way of Christ
and passed from this life. The readings
all look to the last day, when we shall all
rise from the dead and be reunited.
The first reading passage from
Wisdom comforts us and assures us that
all who live a life of virtue and justice
will find life eternal. Even if they have
suffered in this life, they will be
comforted and consoled in the next, and
no torment can touch
them there. The
reading from Romans
urges us to recognize
that, because of
Christ’s paschal
mystery and our
entrance into that
mystery through
baptism, we now share in the new life
won by Christ. This recognition has
repercussions: living righteously now,
that we might rise to life forever with
Christ on the last day.
In the Gospel reading, Jesus
pledges that all that the Father has given
him will not be lost. All the faithful will
be raised to joy and kept safe forever in
the presence of God.
Eucharistic
Adoration
This Tuesday, November 4th there will
be Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament,
starting right after the 8:15 A.M. Mass
and ending with Benediction at 7:30
P.M. The sign up chart is in the vestibule
this weekend with open time slots.
Please plan on making a Holy Hour.
Short visits are also welcomed.
Since we just celebrated the Feasts of
All Saints Day and All Souls’ day come
and pray to your favorite saint and for
the souls of your beloved deceased. This
is also Election day; so be sure to vote
and before or after stop and makes visit
before the Blessed Sacrament, the one
who loves you the most.

Here’s the ironic thing about people
who are generous. Those that give
freely and cheerfully do not do it to be
rewarded. They do it to show their love
for God and their neighbors. Yet,
because of their generosity, they
typically are given more than they gave
away!

YEAR OF SACRAMENTS
ONE WORD AT A TIME
OFFER
Across a lifetime, we celebrate the
sacrifice of the
Mass many
times. Every
time we do so,
we join
ourselves to
Jesus and offer
ourselves to God and become one with
the self sacrificing love of Jesus. The
repetition of this self-offering is meant
to train us.
One day, at the end of our lives, as we
lie dying and conclude our journey on
earth, we will make our final offering to
God. We will celebrate our personal
liturgy of sacrifice and surrender. We
will have learned from a lifetime of
participation in the Eucharist how to
entrust ourselves entirely, lovingly, and
confidently into the hands of God. We
will, with God’s help, make an offering
of ourselves and worship God in spirit
and in truth. We will, with Jesus
prompting us, say those great words
he spoke from the cross, “Father, into
your hands I commend my spirit.”
